Re: [PD-dev] bang [block~] to query current blocksize

I just had a thought, what about adding an outlet to [block~] that will output the block size as a float when [block~] is banged? I can't think of any other way to query what the current block size is, and it would be useful sometimes.

banging [switch~] allows you to do dsp processing on demand. since [block~] and [switch~] are so closely related (on the Pd side they are very similar (with [switch~] being a better [block~]); on the C side they are the basically same) i would suggest to do any additional overloading.

i agree however, that it would be nice to get the current blocksize, overlap and oversample from within Pd.
